Birdie Sex Change

Many of you know Buddy as my ornery Quaker Parakeet. Well, this morning we have decided to rename him Bianca. Quakers are monomorphic meaning both male and female look exactly the same. Although you can have blood work done to determine the sex, I never really saw the need to put him through the torture or spend the money. I have worked for 2 avian doctors, one of whom is very renowned and I have never done or seen this procedure done. Hence, when I was working for Pet’s Mart all the animals were “Buddy” when I decided to bring our “Buddy” home the name stuck. Well, last I was looking in on him and discovered he had plucked out all his belly feathers!! What was that about I thought? Knowing he is a plucker, I didn’t worry about it to much. Then this morning I got up, feed the kids, let the dog out, and grabbed the trashcan and fresh paper towels to clean his cage. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but an EGG. I was totally shocked!! The kids thought she had a baby when I showed them. I explained that she hasn’t been around any boy birds so it was just an egg. That satisfied their curiosity. So, from this day forth Buddy shall now be known as Bianca.

Here is Delilah's first walk. She enjoyed being in the stroller at first, but the sidewalk was too bumpy and it was a little windy so, it ended up being a short walk.

Here she is as long as a couch coushin

This is a 3 month outfit and it fits her perfectly

She is SO cute when she is sleeping peacefully

Here she is at 2 months old. She was really hamming it up for the camera

She has been to 3 Mammoth games now

So sad

Double Wammy!!

What is a mother to do when child B pukes everywhere leaving you no choice but to practically toss child C on the floor. After taking child B to the bathroom, giving him a shower, tucking him into bed, and cleaning couch A ... Child A pukes. You then take child A to the bathroom, give her a shower, tuck her into bed, when both children ask for a drink. On your way to the kitchen you pick child C, who is now crying, up off the floor get the drinks take them back to the children A & B. Put child C in her crib for a nap, then proceede to clean couch B. And remember, this profession does not allow for vacation time!!

Dentist

Katie just got back from her first trip to the dentist. No one in the history of dentistry has ever been so excited about going to the dentist as this little girl. She told the receptionist, dentist, hygienist, and some poor teenager that walked in for his appointment, that "I need to get my teeth cleaned" She did very good, sat somewhat still, opened and closed her mouth as asked and generally did good. She is even excited to go back. The kid even wanted to floss as soon as we got home no matter how many times I told her she just had them flossed!!! Anyway, it went well and I am very proud of her.

Ecumenical Sunday

I have said it before and I will say it again- I learn something new everyday! Having heard that this coming Sunday is Ecumenical Sunday, I was curious to find out what that meant. Here is what I have discovered:

Each year January 18-25 is observed as the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, and the Sunday during that week is observed in many churches as Ecumenical Sunday.

ec·u·men·i·cal /ˈɛk yʊˈmɛn ɪ kəl - Pronunciation[ek-yoo-men-i-kuh l
–adjective
1. general; universal.

2. pertaining to the whole Christian church.

3. promoting or fostering Christian unity throughout the world.
of or pertaining to a movement (ecumenical movement), esp. among Protestant groups since the 1800s, aimed at achieving universal Christian unity and church union through international interdenominational organizations that cooperate on matters of mutual concern.

4. interreligious or interdenominational: an ecumenical marriage.

The Message

I just started a yearlybible reading plan on line. They have a ton of different translations to choose from so, I chose The Mesage since it is not a trnslation I have at home. I read my first day's reading just now, and I had to blog about it, because I just loved the version. It was just like reading a novel. 90% of the time I read out of my NIV, which I really enjoy, but I am so siked about The Message!! I thought I would also pass along the web site where you can costumize your own reading plan and make notes to your reading:
